The Girona continues to let the opportunity to get closer to European places. The red and white team is always looking for its best level, and halftone performance is not enough to wear them. Their recent defeat against Rayo Vallecano (2-1) highlighted that several players are not up to par. It is not only a lack of finish; There is also an obvious absence of efforts, creativity and quality in key areas on the ground.
The impressive feat of last season, where they finished in third place and qualified for the Champions League, now seems to belong to the past. They must take up the challenge of rewriting this narrative, and with regard to their current form, reaching the goal of this season, namely to finish among the first six of the Liga, seems more and more difficult. However, coach Míchel remains confident in his workforce, calling on his players to raise their level of play.

The results that would usually bring serenity and confidence are not there. The defeats accumulate, and Girona is about to get used to tripping. It is alarming to note that they have lost half of the matches played this season. In all, Girona has played 30 games between La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, recording ten victories, five draws and 15 defeats (including their elimination in Copa del Rey against Logroñés on penalties). A 50 % loss rate is far too high for supporters who, at the same time last year, took advantage of their team at the top of the Liga.
-Currently, Girona is on a series of three consecutive defeats (two in La Liga against Seville and Rayo, and one in the Champions League against Milan), with particularly painful league setbacks. The red and white team took advantage in the two games in the league but failed to keep its lead. However, on a positive note, the gods of football could still smile, because reasons to hope persist and it is important to avoid panic. Their direct rivals also encounter difficulties, with Mallorca in sixth position, just two points ahead.
